[@mayalynn]

"In fact, you're not in the Air Force, just stay out of the springs." That's some advice I will continue to follow.

[@davidjackson4326]

*me coming to see the natives argue*

[@PaulsWanderings]

me too

[@djsantz14]

Everyone: We'll have to agree to disagree. Colorado: We don't agree to that

[@navynichols]

"You're not in the Air Force, just stay out of the Springs...." Hit the nail on the head!

[@mariateresamendez633]

As a native spanish speaker thank you for teaching me how to explain the letter Ñ 😅

[@KristopherBel]

Yeahbits absolutely a brilliant mnemonic.

[@Ch-64Chinnok]

Yea 😅

[@megaphonemysp]

If you can't find the connection between a word with ñ and rivers, then you aren't free associating hard enough

[@pandac2978]

I didn’t realize until just just now, I do say Colo-RAD-o, but Colo-RAW-doe Springs!

[@joelmckinley]

Facts

[@rlmilt16]

Straight to jail

[@abbygale3522]

I just noticed this too. Lol, I was born in Aurora but have a lot of family in the springs, Denver and Pueblo. It's funny how you don't realize how you talk till someone basically mocks you for it. 🤣🤣🤣

[@jaminblizz]

ame i moved to the spring for collage but i do the same thing. btw buena vista is always too hard for me also iirc the ppl from there dont care too much

[@GOATexp]

It’s like the Caribbean vs Pirates of the Caribbean lol

[@jessb465]

Bahahahahha

[@chuckbangers2590]

I've never heard that pronunciation of Buena Vista, but you nailed "Colo-RAD-o."

[@Banyo__]

Relatable. Near Houston, we know "you're not from round here," if your mispronounce " Kuykendahl"

[@kayxam8852]

Bless you!

[@TheSightOfTheStars]

Over here in New Braunfels, a local musican wrote an entire song about how there's only 1 S! Tourists band out of towners really really really love saying "New Brauns-fels" 🤦.

[@ChaoticGoodMarine]

@@TheSightOfTheStarsI added the second S for years. Don’t any more as much. Now I’ll call it the Co-mull river half the time. Bull-ver-Dee native here. As well as “San Mark-us”.

[@leanmixture]

I had a similar lesson by my rafting instructor during my last trip to ColoRADo and the enthusiasm was identical.

[@luvondarox]

You missed the Zuni debate. 😂

[@rebekaheager9518]

Colorado native here. My grandpa worked in Pueblo for most of his life, and he always pronounced it “Pee-eh-blo”. “Pyeblo” if he was talking fast. Come to think of it, my other grandpa (also from the area) also called it “Pyeblo”, lol. We’re a bunch of gringos.

[@7ink3347]

I don't even know where you get the I sound from it's literally spelled phonetically

[@julie36613]

I hear some people call it Peb-lo, like pebble.

[@beccaolivere6534]

Native here and I've always said Buena Vista the way the "student" says it.

[@Jbs6187]

Then you have always been wrong

[@katrina3670]

I grew up in Denver and has always said it the student’s way as well. Must be all the California transplants changing things.

[@mattjoines9048]

I hate that you have to learn this way, but you were adopted

[@michaelmanwaring4973]

I am a native also and this is what got me, I have never heard anyone say it as the teacher does

[@willburket1679]

What's funny is that the way he says Vista still isn't how you would say it in spanish. It would be "veesta".

[@socialityable]

Not in the Air Force just stay out. I felt that

[@jillianbaer5217]

I never realized that even ppl from "Col-o-RAD-O" call it "Colorado Springs." Sorry, I should "just STAY OUTTA THE SPRINGS all together" 😂

Omg this is so true ,when we would visit places is Colorado and I was asked where I was from I would say “the springs “ and people would instantly know where I was from.

I grew with a Hispanic mom a we always pronounced it like the Patagonia guy😊 never got bothered by people. :) and I love visiting all of these places during all the seasons

[@rebekahleavell6989]

It's not a lot different with the arbitrary rules here in AZ! 😂

[@DeliahAyala.2.14.91.]

Tell me about it! Casa Grande, I hear it GRAND and Gran-dey. Then Prescott, I've heard pres-cot and pres-kit. Which ones did I miss

[@sarahloux9962]

More of these!! Please :)

[@julvari]

There's a Buena Vista in NJ, pronounced the same way as he says in this video. I've never understood why 😂

[@J-wm6jo]

Nevada and Colorado we’re pronounced with the ah sound or closer to the Spanish pronunciation until the 1870s when a large population from the Northeast migrated there during the gold rush and they pronounced them with short hard A vowel sound which led to its modern-day New England sounding pronunciation of their states.

[@jessb465]

🙌🏽 THANK you!!!

[@TheYankeeBuckeye]

Funny, I grew up in the eastern part of Massachusetts and I always pronounced Nevada and Colorado with a short, soft A.

[@tarrynitup2024]

From Cañon, can confirm. 👍🏻 colo-RAD-o used to be so great.

[@cdu623]

My college math professor told the class (in North Carolina) in the 70's that he was from ColoRADo.

[@rebekaheager9518]

And don’t forget La Junta, which is pronounced by the gringo population, “La Hunna.”

[@kylesherman3269]

Closer you live to Bueno Vista the more likely you are to just say BV or “Beu-nee”

[@NerdEngineering]

💯

[@FieryVigil]

The Buena Vista one angers me but the rest I got right and I've never been to Colorado lol

[@kristigeiger3680]

Moving there this month so I'm glad to have some education. 😂

[@not-so-good-at-arting]

As a Coloradoian, it's Colo-RAW-do, trust

[@rlmilt16]

As a 5th and 6th generation Coloradan... It's 100% ColoRADo.

[@rlmilt16]

And it's Coloradan. Never heard of a coloradoian in my life

[@thepushygardener]

Hahaha

[@joekerr6035]

​@@rlmilt16Means nothing. I've known 5th and 6th gen people throwing R's into names with no R's like "Washington." Saying "Worshington." Just means for the last 5 or 6 generations you've failed English.

[@ImagineGriffins]

Lived in Wilmington NC and everyone referred to Topsail Island as "Top-sill Island"

[@Josh-it6uy]

Don’t forget Kure Beach or Kerr Ave omg

[@agraves561]

Yes!!!

[@JamesMooreSeattle]

That's how topsail is normally pronounced in English, not just the placename - "top + sail" is just weird/wrong, "top-sill" is normal. Lots of sailing words aren't pronounced like they're spelled. Exactly like forecastle/fo'c's'le is pronounced something like fox+sill, not "four castle."

[@texas_tina23]

This is Golden 😄

[@gusjohnson1098]

No it's not he never mentioned golden

[@jerrytiemann2533]

Um, from Grand Junction, Co ain't Golden now pronounced 'burb of Denver???

[@karentodd5210]

I grew up in Colorado, and I really didn't realize 1) HOW wrong (although it was always an offense to me, when people didn't use "RAD" in Colorado, but only just tucked it far away, back in my brain, and 2) I seriously never realized that I pronounced "Colorado" Springs" differently. Ohmygosh. Thank you for your lesson today, lol

[@upshifter5316]

Lie-mun. Should be Limón.

[@Janaeandtheblindsonsaga]

I’m from the springs and I call it the springs unless I’m out of state. And I’m here without a military affiliation 😂

[@phileoness]

I’m pretty sure the reason we say Colo-raw-do springs is because it’s always following saying “the springs” and realizing the person has no idea what you mean. So you translate for the flatlander, using their dialect.

[@everythingcollectibles]

I live in Minnesota and I feel like pronunciations definitely apply to us!

[@warddavisbuilders]

Lets talk about the Ar-kansas/Arkan-SAW River. Only river to change names at 2 state borders. I drove over the Arkann-SAW River on my way to Leadville, passed over the Ar-kansas River again on my way home to Hutchinson Kansas. At least I didn't have to pass over the Arkann-SAW River all the way down in Oklahoma. Not saying the Razorbacks are wrong, but there is definately no W in Arkansas.

[@pandac2978]

[@the_real_bapis]

I call it Colorado like the first example

[@Dragontbone]

Should have added Louisville

[@audrieking7109]

Nevada and Colorado are mispronounced everywhere! I had a friend from Alabama, and I tried to help her remember how to say Nevada and Colorado by saying the A was like the third A in Alabama. ColorAdo. NevAda. AlabAma. Still didn't stick haha
